Part 1 Chapt 7
Ten children of another time,
Heed thy call:
Decendent of the night shall commit a crime
Lost in darkness, big nor small
The price to pay, the time of day.
Beware the _________________ call,
The path of water, Heros of Olympus shall stray.
To life or death, a new hero shall save them all.
--
A new fate given by Doom.
A new path hidden in a dark room.
A new hero, through silent words cries.
To ones passing the Heroes of olympus shall fall or rise.
LET THE CRYING/YELLING BEGIN!! Note this: I have nothing against Laurel, ok? She's like a sister to me, and everything I will do/previviously did, I dont (sometimes) like. Anyway, I needed you to know that so you dont come for my guts.
Listen to: Carnival of Rust while reading this, and Nothing Left to Say K?
Carnival of rust is by: Poets of the Fall
Nothing Left to Say: Imagine Dragons
Ok, so lets start with....
~Laurel's POV~ (Yeah I guess that had to happen anyway...)
A voice that never existed calls out to the brother who isnt related, my sight dimmed to a blurr, sound stood still, at that moment, I felt helpless, lost, broken. I felt blind, deaf, and mute. The ultimate useless person. I wiped my eyes, and sat straight foreward, hiding my face from the man whom stoll me away from the one male whom I could say I loved. I'll be able to see my friends again, wont I? I mean I have to go back to school again, right? The answer? Well I cant ask, so how can I get an answer?
"Are you ok?"
Mason FREAKIN Key said politely, how nice of him, to be kind to me right after he just TOOK ME AWAY FROM MY BROTHER. Y'know, if I got a choice, I would be at his throat. I would hyjack the car and speed off to Leo, like hell I'm going to just stay with some retarded harvord graduate while I can be with my latino. He looked in the mirror to see me, I nodded slightly, and he frowned
"I'm sorry to take you away from your brother,"
He said, Aww, that warms my heart you know you're sorry.... But I dont have a fudge to give. I think to myself. Oh the joys of having a voice. Talking back and setting things straight. But NOPE I'm idioticly mute and basily useless to a blind person if needed directions. I look out the window, trying to remember how to escape to Leo when I get to this weirdo's house.
-ONWARD TO THE HOUSSSSE!-
Well, this is a man of many gifts. A huge mansion, along with two adorable yet freaky kids at the door, good looks, sadly a nice brain... Ok, about the kids, the girl and boy look almost identical, both with black hair, one dark blue eye, one amber eye, fair skinned, when I say kid, I mean someone older, 16 or so. The girl has her hair in two ponytails, like she was 6 or something, the boy has short shaggy hair. Both of their hairs glimmered with sunlight, as if stars were twinkling within their locks. When we reached the house, they introduced themselves, the girl is smiling too widely for my liking. The boy has a slacked, bored face, as if he hasen't been happy in his entire life.
"Hi! I'm Nora, this is Damon! You must be Laurel, its so nice to meet you!"
This 'Nora' chick says, damn, she's like a steriotypical blonde, but with black hair. The other one looks like a vampire, his skin almost paperwhite. Its kinda scary.
"This is my brother and sister."
Key said, placing his hands on my shoulders. I get a wiff of his smell, a kind of deoderant for men, it smelled almost addicted. Please tell me he isnt one of those gross old guys that adopt for creepy purposes.... I still detest (I love that word) him for taking me away from Leo... I HATE IT. I HATE HIM. He leads me inside, taking my backpack and holding it for me, he leads me around the house, telling me where everything is, I do my best to remember places, but this place is a maze.
~Nico's POV~ (Two-three hours before Leo and Laurels adoption)
Wow, Laurel is also an abuse victim. I'm currently on a date with Percy, at a coffie shop, Percy staring at me with a lazy smile on his face. I wanna just grab his face and start a seriously heated make-out session, ending in a bed, panting. Then, like always, Jason calls Percy, he answers, still watching me.
"Oh? Good for you. Yeah. Mhm. Ok. You got a lead? K, I'll be there."
Damn, what is it this time? Percy hung up and continued to stare at me with half lidded eyes and a small smile on his face. I tilted my head and took a sip of coffie before asking
"So, whats up with Jason?"
Percy sat up, and grinned
"He got his parents to agree that they would adopt Leo and Laurel. And he is getting Annabeth to find out who's car it was that left you in the street."
My eyes widdened, I had admited, that I couldent remember what had happened before then, but it had to do with drugs, which I had stopped after starting to date Percy. He had been working really hard to find out who had tried to kill me. And why. Because I couldent remember.
"Oh. Good for him. What about you being somewhere?"
"He wants to meet at a club tomorrow night. You were invite-"
His phone ringed again, I looked at it, Annabeth, he answered and put it on speaker.
"Yeah?"
Percy asked
"Percy, I found the person. I'll send you the adress. Its a guy, around 20, probably going to be heavily guarded, be careful, ok?"
Percy nodded and said
"K, Nico, wanna go?"
I nodded, Percy would ask Frank to come with us, but his parents wanted him to visit them up in the mountins, and he brought Hazel with him. Both went bye bye, so I'm staying with Percy, to get away from my empty home. My dad's always gone, my sister died from cancer, my mother died after I was born... so yeah. The only family I have is my semi-abusive father and Percy.
"Ok then, lets go."
He said, I got up and we left,
-teleport to Percy's House-
I was told to stay in the car as Percy got some stuff, I followed him into his backyard, careful to stay out of his line of vision, he went into a shed I never knew he had, I also didnt know that it held a gun, and shovels. (:P) I sprinted back to the car, yep, I can sprint now that I have been healed with the magic of nice nurses, and daily stretching with Percy. (I cant... *Nosebleed*) I jumped into th car and watched Percy walk up, with adrenaline pumping through my vains, making my heart beat loud and fast. It felt as if it was going to break through my ribcage and earn me a few more weeks in the hospital.
"You ok? Your breathing hard."
Percy said, throwing a small bag into the back of the car, I wonder if thats even safe... does he know how to shoot it? Has he ever killed someone with it? Huh, I wouldent really care either way. Percy is Percy, and I love my sweet Fish Prince. I smile
"Nah I'm good, whats in the bag?"
His face grew dark,
"Something I hope I dont have to use."
He said, I frowned
"Oh.... um, lets go."
I said, he nodded and now I'm starting to wonder what's going to happen.
~Narrorator's POV~
Laurel hid under sheets, her shoulders shaking as tears streamed down her face. Her door locked from the inside, the covers sheltering her from the cruel reality she didnt want to return to. Leo... whas her only thought,
Leo's body trembled with sobs, Jason holding onto the latino reasuringly. Whispering soft words to calm the younger down. "You'll see her at school Leo, she'll be fine. We can visit her when you want to ok?" Leo buried his face into Jasons chest. Blocking out any other sound but the sound of Laurels smile.
Annabeth frowned at the screen of her computer, something seemed off. She had gotten an email from someone, but didnt know who, giving her the information she was looking for.
Percy and Nico sped off, leaving behind all mortality. The bag in the backseat calling out to Percy's wants. Lurring him deeper into the pit. Nico kept his eyes on the road, his mind going millions of miles her hour with thoughts whiping through his mind.
Mason smirked, the dark voice in the back of his mind congratulating him for his work. The twins with their ears to the door, listening to the quiet cries of the mute. Small smiles playing on their faces at the pain Laurel was in. Mason grabbed them and lugged them to the livingroom.
Thalia's mind went blank when she got the call from her father, his deep voice trying to gently lay the news on her. Her eyes started to sting when she hung up, before her friends could tell her to stop, she stampeded away.
A man, shrouded in the shadows of an empty house, grinned, closing the laptop and setting it aside. Waiting pleasently for his guests.
As if on que, Laurels mind, and said peoples voice said at once: "Lets play."
~The Man~ (Back to suspense) (An hour before Leo and Lauren's adoption)
Its been a long time. A very long time, since I've spilled blood. My stupid sister gets all the kills, now its my turn... The door bursts open. My two young guests, Nico, and Perceus, walk in, a bag slung on Percy's shoulder, Nico holding a baseballbat. Huh, if I had brought more guards, they wouldent have gotten past the door. I smirked as they saw me, its not that often I get visitors. I mine as well make this long and fun.
"Welcome~"
I said softly, one of my guards, blocked the door, I ushered the two to seats, when they didnt move, I got someone to 'help' them sit. Shoving them roughly on to the seat. Percy, and Nico glared at me. I remember Nico, I had Luke stab him a few times and leave him on the street, I was hoping he would just die and screw up the future, this future, just to be annoying to my sisters, but hey, I guess the future is set in stone.
"Who are you?"
The italian hissed, I looked at him with a warry look, as if bored
"I have many names young man, but, you can call me..."
I said, dragging out the pause to make this sound scary
"Bryce."
"Bryce?"
Percy asks, Nico knits his eyebrows, damn he makes my name sound not-scary,
"Why did you try to kill me, Bryce?"
Nico asked, I shrugged
"Same reason I'm going to kill you again, because I want to annoy my sister."
They both blinked
"YOUR TRYING TO KILL ME TO ANNOY YOUR SISTER!?"
Nico shouted. I rolled my eyes and sighed
"Well, technicaly you wont die, because your an 'important part of the prophecy' or whatever, so you'll find some way to come back alive. But yes, I'm going to cause you great pain to annoy my sister. Anyway, I'm commiting a crime at the moment, ya'know, changing the pattern of how the world is working..."
I explained, teens, these days, so dumb. I mean, they cant even tell they are in the pressence of a demigod-turnedimmortal son of Nyx. I am the diety of doom. No not like my brother, but just doom, not fate and all that other shit (WOAH -_- Didnt see that coming did you?) How lame. I thought.
"WHO THE HELL IS YOUR SISTER!?"
The other spawn said. I sighed
"Lauren, though she thinks I'm just her brother's son, I'm actually her halfbrother."
"WHY THE FUCK DO YOU WANT TO KILL US TO ANNOY HER?"
"I'm killing your lover fish-brain, not you. I want you to watch."
I stood up, but my guards had skillfully tied the two to their seats. I reached inside of the bag Percy had brought, I smiled
"Is this for me? How nice."
I pulled back the piston and held the gun to the italian boy's head. Nico's eyes went wide and Percy's eyes narrowed at me
"Put the damn gun down."
He growled, I smirked
"Good, so this isnt fake."
I said,
"Since I have your lover, your going to do what I want, if you dont, I'll pull this trigger."
Percy's eyes went dark
"What do you want?"
He asked, his voice deep with anger and defeat. I smiled and began.
~Thalia's POV~ (A few minutes after Laurel's and Leo's adoption)
The others and I were with our teacher, a 20 year old woman, leading us through the forest, we were hunting, since the snowstorm had basicly killed the roads for a bit so no food, we had just caught a deer and were lugging it back to the cabin. When we got inside, I noticed my phone was buzzing I picked it up and answered it was my dad.
"Hey dad, whats up?"
I asked,
"I'm sorry Thalia."
He said before filling me in on the rest. I gave them the idea to adopt Leo and Laurel, but someone else had called to pick up Laurel before they got to her. We've got Leo, while someone else has Laurel. I hung up and stared at the ground for a second. My fathers words ringing in my ears, my friend, Zoe, came up to me (I hated that Rick killed Zoe, my sister's name is Zoe, so I got pissed at that, so ZOE NEVER DIED Yaaaaaaaay!)
"Whats the matter Thal? You look, really pissed."
She said softly, I clentched my fists tighter
"Someone adopted my girlfriend, just before my parents could. And I'm too far away to reach her."
I said quietly, Zoe's face dropped, the small smile, the careing eyes. It all went blank with sadness and pity. Theother girls came over and Zoe explained, I looked up and walked to the door, I threw it open and faintly heard the others calling for me to wait. I didnt listen and ran through the forest, running down the iced road. After about an hour, I stopped, leaning against a tree, I caught my breath, I heard footsteps behind me, and I looked over, the other girls, Zoe, and all the others ran up to her all out of breath and panting heavily.
"Damn... so hard... to catch.... up with you."
Zoe panted. The teacher, Artemis, jogged up, a small smile on her face, but it dissapeared when she stopped, she looked at Thalia and said
"Your not leaving-"
"But I have to fin-"
"Your not leaving without us."
Artemis finnished. Thalia inhaled sharply with surprise. She looked at the other girls, (sweaty and out of breath) smiling at her, their chests heaved with each breath, yet still smiling
"Lets go!"
Artemis said, the other girls nodded and they ran to find Laurel. (Even though none of them know her.)
(Who's next? *Evil giggle*) ~Leo's POV~
Why does the world do this? I protected her, I loved her, I helped her, then finaly, when we get adopted, by someone we actually want to get adopted by, to be happy.... Then she's snatched away, like a leaf in the wind, by those stupid eyes, that stupid smile of that stupid man. I want to steal her back, and run away, with her, with Jason, I just want to runaway. Jasons soft voice lulls me into a nightmare.
She's right there, infront of me, smiling, laughing, but I can hear her voice, a voice I have never heard, and its heavenly. It hurts not able to hold her, to touch her. I tried to get closer, but my body felt frozen, unable to move forewards, I felt a tingling on the back of my neck and I turned, a huge wave of darkness loomed above me, millions of faces cried out in sadness or pain, black arms reached out to grab me, I screamed, because among those faces, Jason, screaming in agony, tears streaming down his face. I saw a group of faces, they were the only ones smiling. I turned back to Lauren, but she was lilting to the side, as if a half dead flower, her body encased in darkness, her eyes closed, the black inched up her neck. Her head lifted a bit to look at me her eyes snapped open, those beautiful green eyes, turned into glowing demonic eyes, the same beautiful green, but evil. A wide smile spreads on her face, her mouth stretching in ways it shouldent, a green glow coming from in her maw. She laughed, her shoulders shaking. She came up to me, her feet leaving pools of black, the black of her skin had covered her entire face.
I sat up screaming. Laurel. Laurel!! WHERE IS SHE?
"Leo, shh, its ok. Its ok."
Jason said, trying to comfort me, he held me in his arms, and I grabbed him burrying my face in his chest. She's gone. My Laurel is gone. No, she's not gone, I can find her again, or she'll come back to me. I need to fine my Leaf in the wind.
(That was so sad I just... wow.)
~Laurel's POV~ (Your like: Again? and I'm like: Hell yea!) (1 day after adoption)
That feeling, when someone takes something important to you, it leaves an empty pit in your body, like you dont have anything aside from it, and that person just took it away from you. After a while, that empty pit starts to fill with something less nice: Pain, sadness, regret, longing, anger, dissapointment, blind rage.... it feels like poision, drowning you from the inside like namonia. The sickness of liquid filling your lungs until you drown when you arent even underwater.
"Laurel, are you ok?"
I hear Mason say from behind the door. I exhale through my mouth and get up, unlocking the door, it opens and Mason walks in, I nod and he smiles... then frowns
"We'll have to find some way for you to speak through sound."
I take out my phone and type in: I know morse code. His face lightens up
"Really? Thats amazing! I know it too! Though I'm not that good."
He says, I notice a black flash behind Mason, I blink, and try to remember it, I saw a smile... WTF? Like a D but the edges curved up... too much. THAT WAS MOTHER FUDGING CREEEEPY! He remembered something and said
"Um, are you hungry or thirsty?"
He asked, I shook my head. I'd gladly go back to Leo and just eat up that feeling of regaining my stolen object though... In a flash, it felt like the sun went down, it felt like a part of the universe and all of time just fell out of the world. Leaving with the thought 'WTH?' I'm in bed..... wasn't I just standing up. Mason stood over my bed. I have my eyes nearly closed, so I could see him. I'm really glad for my thick eyelashes right now. He leaned over and kissed my cheek before leaving
"Night love."
He whispered, closing the door. Now I am very very freaked out. So he IS one of those weirdlings with um... bed-issues. I shoulda known. Unmarried, not dating two probably annoying teen siblings that are most deffiantly creepy and twins. He's a freakin Harvord grad! How could he not have a super clingy girlfriend, or boyfriend? I did not like that kiss. It was cold and gave me uncomfortable shivers and vibes... like: Ooooooooh I'm a ghost and I kissed you oooooooooh. Its too weird. I sit up when I hear his footsteps fade. I grab my backpack and I remembered the window. I opened it, it goes to the roof, that goes to a balcony, which I can probably climb down. I slip out of the window, wearing my jeans and a loose blue teeshirt. I sling my backpack over my shoulder and take a deep breath, inhaling all the scents, woodsy, pine, no cars. A cold gust of wind runs over my bare skin, making a tingle roll up my spine. I carefully walk over the roof, my weight making an ominous cracking sound come from the roof. Calm down, calm down. Swallowing the lump in my throat I continue etching away from the window. getting closer to the balcony, closer, closer.... I jump over the low railing and land on the wood with a soft thump. I grin, almost there. Then comes the creepy giggling, it comes from behind me. Swiftly turning, I come face to face with the devil twins. A wide smirk on the girls face, a frown on the boy's.
"a shame your leaving so soon."
They said in unisince, my eyes widdened, the moon wasnt here tonight, but the stars illuminated their faces with a fierce light. Makin them look like some ghost in a horror movie.
"Why dont you stay here with us?"
They said softly. Tempting, but sorry kids, I have to go back to my brother. I back away from them, my back presses against the railing. And the chidren inch closer, I can almost feel a dark pressense, lurking just behind them. A wide smile rises above their heads, two eyes open, both the mouth and the eyes glow with a freaky shine. Oh god.
~Percy's POV~ (Do you hate me yet? :3 You'll hate me more in a second.)
**!** (Not graphic)
I had been restrained, my arms and legs tied to a thick pole (Don't) I struggled against the rough ropes holding me back from wringing that guys neck. Bryce. That b¡tch had tied Nico's arms above his head, stripped him, and let him hang like that, head drooping. Though I think he was mostly pissed, not embarrassed. Bryce held Nico's perfect body close to his one. Touching my Nico. I was gagged. Bryce held the gun I had brought to Nico's head, the messy black locks curling around the barrel.
"I would be a shame to kill such a.... beautiful boy."
Bryce said softly in Nico's ear. But Nico didnt resist, he just hung there, limp, unmoving. As if dead. It scared the shit out of me.
"So, since you tried to save your precious Nico before, I thought: Maybe I shouldn't kill him, just, maybe, take him. Who would want to waste such a body like this, when I can play around with him. So either you do what I want, or I take this boy's virginity."
Nico flinched... wait... I remember Nico telling me he isnt a virgin..... so..... why did he just flinch? I glare at him.
"Guards, take him outside, he knows what he has to do."
Thats right. I know what I have to do to save Nico. But I cant do it... I cant do that to them.
~Annabeth's POV~ (A turn for the better, or worse?)
I got a text from Percy, it looked urgent. I mine as well go over there and beat the shit out of him for not calling me instead. Frank and Hazel came home early since something happened, so yeah. I get in my car and drive to that really old warehouse we used to use as a hide out in middleschool. I park in the front and see Jason's car, Franks car, and Percy's car. I shrug it off until I see Thalia walking up, I burst out of the car and jog over to my close freind.
"Hey Annie. Did Perce invite you?"
I nodded, she looked jumpy, and a bit anxious. Not to mention stinky and covered and sweat.
"What happened to you?"
She grined
"I ran ten miles to get here."
"WHAT?"
I yelled, Thalia laughed, we slipped past the broken part of the metal gate.
"Did you hear about Laurel?"
I think about it and shake my head
"My parents were going to adopt her and Leo, but they only ended up adopting Leo. Someone else got Laurel. Percy told me where to find her."
I looked at her
"I am so sorry."
"Its ok, in no time, we're going to be-"
Suddenly, it felt like the world just sped up an hour or two. The sun had gone down, me and Thalia stood with the others, facing Percy, who looked depressed. Leo's eyes were red and puffy, Jason stood close to Leo, protectivly, Hazel and Frank were litteraly handcuffed to eachother. Weird. Thalia and me were not too far apart, Piper stood next to Reyna, everyone looked confused as hell, looking around uncertiantly. I felt a stinging in my hand, I looked at it, and I saw a small gash, a blade was in Percy's hand. Blood trickled in a huge chalk circle, almost looking like an incantation or something like that. Everyone ele noticed too. Percy held out his hand, everyone was already bickering about what had happened, but before anyone could notice (aside from me) a drop of blood fell to the ground from Percy's hand, then almost like magic, the ground inside of the chalk circle dropped instantly. I gasped the guys screamed (being that us females are less sissy then males) Suddenly, a man walked up, Nico in his arms, passed out. He walked over to the pit, which seemed to be tugging at us feircely. He just dropped him. Dropped Nico into the hole. Percy yelled and jumped after him. But the hole seemed to pull us in, one by one, all of us were sucked in, I grabbed onto the edge of the world. The man, a tall man with jet black hair fair skin, and deviously sparkling black eyes smirked down at me, his foot landed on my fingers and I screamed in agony. Falling into the pit bellow. To where do I fall?
-------A/N Time-----------
You must really really really hate me for this. But I really love you. Ok, so most of the prophecy has been answered yada yada yada, but until it has been completely answered I will continue to keep that prophecy up. So, anywho, have fun solving the riddle~
!Bye. :D Muahahahahahahahahaha!
